Fox McCloud is the lead pilot of the Star Fox team, a legendary crew of mercenaries for hire that travel the Lylat System and defend it from evil schemes. The Star Fox team was founded by his father, James McCloud. Fox McCloud and his team have thwarted the plans of Andross on many occassions, and continue to fued with rival mercenary team, Star Wolf, led by Wolf O'Donnell. Like his name suggests, Fox is a red fox breed.

Details

Standard Special

Blaster

3% - 5%

Fox will take out his trusty Blaster and aim forwards, firing off a quick shot that will travel in a straight trajectory. The player can repeatedly tap the Special Move button to rapidly fire shots from Fox's Blaster. While doing so, the Control Stick can be used to changed Fox's trajectory and fire in any direction diserable. Each shot is weak and won't cause any flinching, but since these shots can be fired quickly, the damage can add up.

Fox will take out his Reflector device and hold onto it. Like in past Smash Bros. games, Fox will activate it right away, shocking any players in contact with it and reflecting all projectiles shot at him. As long as Fox holds down the Special Move button, he'll keep the shield activated. When the button is released, Fox will turn it off, but keep it in his grasp, carrying it as an item now like Link's Bombs. Fox can then throw it as he pleases, causing it to reactivate momentarily after hitting the ground, an opponent, or a projectile. It'll remain active afterwards for 3 seconds before shutting off and disappearing.

Fox will use his Communicator device to call out for backup. Shortly afterwards, two Arwings will arrive on the stage and attack Fox's enemies.

Each shot can cause between 16%-22% damage to their targets and always fire six shots total between the two Arwings. Fox is free to continue battling after his call is finished.
